DD is finally going to be old enough for fencing this summer. She was once very chapped that she wasn't old enough-- she really wanted to learn when she was about 8-- but now she isn't quite as interested, which is too bad. I think it would appeal to her.
I am sorry to hear that your DD could not start fencing earlier.
Me too; DS was still 5 when he did fencing for the first time (with a very serious coach, but only at a summer activity camp). He's been doing it weekly since shortly before turning 7, and loves it. We have yet to see him doing it, though. Hope your DD's enthusiasm is still there, even if a little less obvious than it was, HowlerKarma!
